Transformative Movie Roles

The 9 Most Transformative Movie Roles (Including Ben Foster in ‘The Survivor’)

We will often seek out a movie just because it features actors we love. While some actors play on their screen persona to draw audiences to theaters, it’s also not uncommon for the best actors to completely transform themselves for a movie role. You have your Tom Cruise of the world, and then you have your Daniel-Day Lewis. After all, part of the appeal of acting is becoming a different persona other than yourself. 

In many ways, taking on a transformational role is pretty much a prerequisite for any Hollywood actor to be considered great. So much so that some actors hinge their entire careers on method acting. The latest in this long line of method performances is in the holocaust film The Survivor, which stars a nearly unrecognizable Ben Foster as Harry Haft. In honor of the impending release of The Survivor on HBO, here are nine of the most transformative movie roles.
